That Love track's from the "Out Here" double LP released on Blue Thumb. I think the whole album was outtakes from the "Four Sail" LP released on Elektra.

huh cool, david

you saw them last week, right?

Yes, the show was relocated to the Asbury Park Brewery on Cookman Avenue. EXEK used strange electronic gizmos--and a trumpet player!

huh! sounds interesting .

for

D'Kid got her masters in comms from SYR on Saturday; she's moving to PA this w/e (MontCo)

congrats!

As I've shared, I made her a housewarming gift https://www.instagram.com/p/DYLj4k1Dps9/?igsh=Zm9saHY5a213cTFw

so pretty - what beach is that?

you are talented!

It's funny - in HS, I dyed my hair orange, then I went to college (for a minute) who's school color was orange, then SHE went to THE Orange, as did her cousin --- my mom HATED the color orange LOL

Thanks @esoterica!!! I got the pic from a photographer up near Asbury, so that's where I'm guessing?

oooh - I thought you made it!

lol on the orange!

my senior year I dyed mohair 'flame'!

my hair

1984

I did!!! I used his pic for reference, then pasteled the seascspe

less orange than cherry, but a fun color

Oh, mine was BRIGHT!!! I've told Lizbot I was the first BOY in our HS to dye his hair (she & I went to the same HS, but a few/many years apart)

ha!

Oh yeah, I forgot Princeton is orange too; sorry "Tigers"

yup lol

So, D'Kid gave me Dealers Choice on a pic for her new place, and thought she'd get a cat cartoon (since that's what I've been doing lately) but I thought she needed something more special than thay

*that

ahhh

good parent!

what a rip

@Randy Marthins, love the painting (@6:44), love your AdP post from April 1

heya!!

Hey Michael

heya! katie

:)

do you take requests?

of course!

could you play Hold On (The Distance Between) by The Protomen?

I will certainly try:)

Thanks @Rob!!! I usually credit who I'm listening to when I work, too (if I remember to do so)

thank you so much :D hope you have a great day!

Katie! I see it's new. I don't now much about the protomen. tell me something:)

sure thing!

you, too, Katie!

they're an indie rock band from Nashville area and they make synth pop-style cinematic rock music in the vein of Styx and Meat Loaf!

my current obsession :D

@Rob - I have another one on my IG that I did from a pic I took in OCMD

Hello! Happy Spring!!!

Hi Katie!

Hi Randy!

Was a rough winter! Hope all weathered it through in 1 piece!

YAY!!! This is my favorite off the album but it's all bangers

so true, inspector. can't wait to get to the beach!

awesome, Katie!

I am hearing a little foreigner

here

whatd'yathink

people have said this one sounds like a Rocky training montage song!

ha! for sure

Starts like it could be "The Love Theme from 'John Wick'"

Hello Esoterica!

I know some Protomen fans who are also John Wick fans :D

huh will have to relisten, randy

:) katie

It's the 80's sound, so don't rule out Jean Claud VanDamme either!

Singer sounds like Lou Gramm, yeah - or "the guy from Survivor"

yes!

lou gramm was also foreigner right?

Def giving training montage --- in a GOOD way

yup!:)

Right!

I've creating a music video in my head. There's a lot of triumphant first raising.
